Greetings all... I've been away for a while - a personal earthquake. I want to give a particular "hello" and thanks to Rene for staying in contact with me and reminding me of the presence and importance of my yello-list family. Though I have remained subscribed, I have not read anything for months. [I have something like 1065 unread messages in this folder!]. I guess that makes me a blind lurker.... I have listened to very little music, too, for the last five months since The Fire (tm). Well, today I am home from work, and I have cued up *all* of my yello music that I have sitting on my main archive machine. xmms tells me I have 34:17:07 [hh:mm:ss], all told! Yeah, there's probably some duplicates in there, but still! Nearly a DAY AND A HALF of yello and yello-related material! I want to say that I regret extremely my inability to bring my yello-ftp server back to life after it was murdered back last July. I have not been able to secure a reliable static IP. The machine has just sat in a corner doing nearly nothing at all for the last six moons. All the accounts and data are still there, so it's not lost. Perhaps some new sugardaddy/mommy will step forward and the server can come to life for all to enjoy again. In the end, there was [and still is] 1.5GB of data! I am with great delight looking forward to working on the remixes! I had such a great time with my effort for the acidplanet.com "tweaker: microsize boy" contest! The remix I did there inspired an entire album from me. Okay, all. Take care and breathe well. --gcr
